Count total number of operators existing in a replication

Hi,

I have several parameters for number of operators, which are referenced to dispatchers (with on set "delete and copy out objects").

I want to run the optimizer to minimize the total number of operators without breaking a set of constrains.

How can I assign to a variable (which will be my optimization objective) the total number of operators that have been "created" for each replication via copy out objects?

Thank you in advance!

An objective can reference any included parameter or any performance measure. So you could make a "Cost" objective with this text:

Thanks Jordan, so if I understand correctly, I should create one objective for each parameter? (doing so will make 8 objectives for the optimizer)

If you are wanting the optimizer to use all 8 then yes.
